My ambitious TBR for October and #HauntedShelf

And some Poe thrown in for good measure. I probably won‘t get through them all but maybe I‘ll surprise myself

This was…not bad. It was an interesting sort of character study of three isolated relatives - one an old man not quite lucid, an agoraphobic but sweet older sister, and a young sister who seems much younger and innocent than normal. And that‘s about it 😂. I thought it was going to be scary but it just wasn‘t. It had a twist but I didn‘t really care about it 🤷🏼‍♀️. I did enjoy it overall, it just wasn‘t what I expected. 🌟🌟🌟💫

This book…did not end the way I thought it would. At all. So, kudos for that, because I was super invested in Hazel and Jack and now I don‘t know what to do with myself. Read the sequel, I expect😂 A compelling story that I felt really gave a picture of Victorian Edinburgh, and the struggles of women in that Regency society. Hazel is an FMC we can all love, clever and thoughtful and reckless in all the right ways. Definitely a pick for me.

Deliciously creepy. I really felt like I was experiencing all the horrific things Easton experienced. Also quite funny in spots.

This is my recommendation for #HauntedShelf participants. It's creepy and spooky and IMO, even better than Shirley Jackson's better-known The Haunting of Hill House.

I also adore this updated Penguin Classics edition that my family gifted to me, with the penguin in the cat's clutches.

Sace This is a good one for spooky season! I read it a few years ago. 3d
rubyslippersreads That penguin looks understandably nervous. 3d

@TheSpineView (thanks for the tag! 😘)

1. I have a pair of my great-grandfather's eyeglasses, circa 1890s. I also have an authentic piece of coal from the RMS TITANIC.
2. As long as strong heroines are needed, JANE EYRE should still be relevant. I hope. 🖤🩶🖤

So much novel to screen news today!!

ChaoticMissAdventures I like Jacob Elordi but I do think they missed the mark here. Heathcliff is supposed to be Romani right? Darker, and a victim of racism. 4d
Bookwomble Robbie is a great actor, but I don't see her as Cathy, however she *is* a great actor, so...? I've never heard of Elordi, but my first reaction to your pic was, "Well, he isn't mixed race, so they've whitewashed that rule yet again". It's so disappointing at this point in our cultural history. 4d
Caroline2 Oh I love both these actors…. Not sure about them as Heathcliff and Cathy tho… but I‘m intrigued and want to watch it! 🧐 3d
ChaoticMissAdventures @Bookwomble yeah, the director (Emerald Fennel) has worked with Elordi a couple of times he seems to be growing into her go to main guy. I think he is great just not for this. It isn't hard to find a not white actor for the role, I am disappointed too. And they are both Australian?? I need tortured Yorkshire actors please! 3d
